Message: [QUOTE="Papadakis, post: 920629, member: 4171"] For those cases that do not meet the requirements of the medical hardship rule, such as a student-athlete that competed beyond 20% of the season only because of a medical misdiagnosis, an institution always has the option of requesting that its conference apply to the Administrative Review Subcommittee of the NCAA for a waiver of the medical hardship rule. To be successful in such an application, the conference must show that granting the request is in the overall benefit of the student-athlete, is consistent with the intent of the medical hardship waiver and does not provide the institution with a competitive advantage. In the next session, we will discuss extensions of the five-year clock for eligibility. [/QUOTE]
